Nice (of course that's only the silver one).

Suggestions:
1. Make the green part of the start menu the same width on all noposts
2. Use Tahoma instead of Verdana as that's the default font in XP
3. Consider a different background because eventually it will start repeating

Nice, though

hrm...change the forum width...make it smaller. i dont like wide styles, and many people also do not.

1 question....how do you get the BG to be solid like that, so it doesnt move...i forget the code?!?!

thanks a lot...looks great

It's annoying; when you scroll you expect everything on the page to move.

Also on slower computers scrolling performance is pretty bad with fixed backgrounds.
